Keynote 5: Digital media in everyday life

Presenter

Dr. Shu Schiller, Wright State University, USA

Abstract/Description

Digital media are now parts of our daily life. They are pervasive, influential, and powerful. Digital media operate in a complex social system and are supported by sophisticated digital technologies. The social aspects of new media, social media, and communication are of equal importance to, if not more than the technical aspects of digital media. This session will provide an overview of digital media such as social media, social networking sites, online news, digital stories, and how they influence our everyday life. We will discuss the social implications of digital media through culture, communities, identity, inclusion, and political associations. More importantly, these discussions should encourage IS scholars to advance digital engagement as an engine for social change.
